[HTC Inspire 4G] SmittyRN:
So I get home from work this morning, pull my Inspire out of my pocket, and it's dead; no lock screen when I push the top button, nothing but black screen. Kinda strange, since I had just been using the phone a few minutes before while I ate breakfast before a 5 min drive home; it still had 22% charge right before I left. I put it on the charger.... nothing. Black screen, no amber light. I let it sit for about 15 minutes, still nothing. I drop it back in my pocket and put my shoes back on, about to head back out to the AT&T Store to exchange it, when I hear R2D2 in my pocket (I'm running LeeDoids ROM). Sure enough, it's booting.... wtf?

It's plugged up and charging right now, which kinda sucks in a way, because I was looking forward to exchanging it for a new one; my battery life sucks in it, worse than it should as far as I can tell with reading up on all the threads here. I'm trying to be very conservative with the settings lately in an effort to stretch battery life, with limited results. I've turned off auto-sync, installed Juice Defender, I turn off the wifi & bluetooth while I'm at work, running the display at 40%, but I'm still running the battery down damn quick if I actually use the device. Earlier this week, it ran itself down to <15% battery in just a few hours just sitting in my pocket, and I wasn't even using it; the only thing I could figure was that the auto-sync was on at the time and it had connection problems where I was in the hospital, making the phone burn up the battery trying to get a connection. When I looked at my battery info, the overwhelming majority of the battery use was for Android System. Now with auto-sync off, the display eats about twice as much of the battery as the system does.

I'm thinking of taking it back anyway if it acts up again. Has anyone else had one that just simply ate battery at a huge rate? LeeDroids ROM has a reputation of being pretty easy on the battery, but right now I'd have to say I'm worse on the battery than I was when it was stock. I'll probably try out a different ROM later today, just to check things.
[HTC Inspire 4G] doktor buknasty:
Fully charge the battery to 100% then wipe battery stats in CMR. Hopefully that will help you out.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SmittyRN:
Does wiping stats improve battery life, or just give you accurate future stats?
[HTC Inspire 4G] onthezone:
Improves battery life and makes it more accurate. I would try downloading the Rom and make sure you flash everything. Also make sure your not over clocked.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SmittyRN:
I'm gonna reflash the ROM and see how it works before I try another one. I'll make sure I'm not overclocked too much, but others with LeeDroids ROM are getting good battery life with overclocking. The two big symptoms I'm looking at right now are heavier than expected battery drain, and the total lock up it had where it wouldn't even show a charging light.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SmittyRN:
CMR=Clockwork Mod Recovery. Reboot into recovery, select advanced, select wipe battery stats.
[HTC Inspire 4G] minicoop7:
tried it but I'm getting a phone icon with an exclamation point when i selected recovery :confused:
[HTC Inspire 4G] minicoop7:
Does it only work on rooted phones?
[HTC Inspire 4G] anit77:
Hey Smitty, I know it's been over a week but have you had better luck with your battery usage?

Also with regards to your unresponsive power issue. Given the size of this handset I've found it difficult to keep it in a pocket. I'd bet that the battery door wasn't connected good or got separated slightly in your pocket, probably getting in & out of your car. It doesn't look like it would take much to separate the contacts in there leaving you with what seemed like a dead phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SmittyRN:
I did a complete wipe and ROM switch... installed dilligafs, and I had much better performance. Using MIUI now, still getting good battery performance. I might have had a bad ROM install before or maybe I left a location using app running. As far as the strange black screen issue, I never did figure out what that was about; the phone was in a Otterbox case, and the battery cover was on tight, so I don't know what happened. It hasn't repeated itself, at least.

One thing I miss about the iPhone was the ability to set up a periodic sync, instead of an auto-sync like we have on Android. Auto-sync is either on or off, and when it's off I can't figure out how to get gmail to sync any way other than a manual sync. I could easily live with syncing every 15 or even 30 mins, and I'm sure it would give me much better battery life. Juice Defender claims to do this for you, but it doesn't work in Gingerbread it seems.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlridgeway:
I am fairly happy with the native lock screen but would like to place my contact information on it. I want to do this in case the phone gets lost, a good Samaritan could easily contact me.

Any thoughts how this can be done?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
Have you looked at any of the "In Case of Emergency" apps?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Supish:
I think avg has that feature
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlridgeway:
Thanks for the replies.

The emergency apps did not seem to apply, most were medical related.

I installed AVG and the lockscreen text function does not seem to work.

Any other thoughts?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
Use Widget Locker. It has a "Moto" style lock slider and you can add things like Minimalistic Text
[HTC Inspire 4G] smthrsd:
Hello, Had the inspire for a month. When i hit the browser it has allways brought up the mobile at&t with a blue background. Today after a reboot its now Purple? Anyone no how to chnage it back?
[Xperia Arc General] Shutterspark:
Better late than never.

This has been posted before in the official Xperia X10 forum, but I figured some of you looking at the Arc might want to know ;)

I personally know at least 5 people out there who only want to upgrade to the Arc for Gingerbread.

You'll lose some stuff like Mediascape etc. but I'm sure no one's complaining.

The source has more details.
[Xperia Arc General] wickedrami:
The timing is so wrong. Had they announced this earlier I would have never got rid of my x10.

Nevertheless very good news for the current x10 owners. Looks like a sign of better things to come from SE.
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
Another thing, this will help clear the current X10 stock at lightning speed, and all Sony Ericsson-trolls suddenly have nothing to troll about anymore :D This is a win for customers, Sony Ericsson and forum moderators alike :D
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
ATT was going to drop any support for X10 or they have already but wondering what would happen to NA customers? Rogers has been updating all along.
[Xperia Arc General] teamshao:
Let's be real here, AT&T will not update the x10. They didn't even get the 2.1 update to x10 users. You'll be able ot get 2.3 though by debranding it.
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
First of all, I bought my phone from Rogers way before ATT start carrying it. :D Second of the note that I won't have my X10 when GB is coming to X10. Hopefully I am enjoying the ARC.

But yes, I agree with that reality. Simply ATT has been iPhone slave and worked for them till apple screwed them by giving it to Verizon too. Now they may work harder for other phone they have.

or

they may stay sloppy...
[Xperia Arc General] teamshao:
I'm not sure they will work harder on these things...AT&T has seemed greedier and greedier recently... Do you have AT&T DSL internet? They're capping data on home internet too. I can't stand them but there's no other company...
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
I have their Uverse **** which suppose to be 24Mb but most of the time is not and disconnected.. As you said no other option here either. God helps us all. I was about to get internet for our biz and their terms and installing fees are ridiculous which stopped me from ordering internet at all. Feels like we are in stone age again.

AT&T Promo: We take you to old days when no other carrier can. Try our all 2011 new time machine and we can suck the money off your pocket. At&T ****ing on consumer experience. ding ding...

I felt really out of topic but this topic doesn't belong to here either anyways.

Edit: give you the first Thank you!

how To get to this screen mind to teach me pls thanks :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tfvaldo:
you can either pinch to zoom out, or touch menu soft key and select edit
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrSimtang:
I think it also depends on what launcher you're using.

TouchWiz has that option if you press your settings button on your home screen and press Edit. TouchWiz 'edits' pages like that.

I know LauncherPro has that sort of screen by pressing the home button.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axeleng:
thanks brother I am using touch wiz
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] GrainOsand:
Does anyone know which .xml I need to edit to change the text color of the menu @ the bottom of this pic? As you can see or not see, the text is to dark to read. Thanks.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] nitsuj17:
you can do it two ways...you could swap white/black in colors.xml (but that ll screw stuff up) or you can change what the menu calls on in styles.xml....

i link this in my "how to theme thread" but here it is anyway

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=9664604#post9664604

if you want a color other than white you d have to edit colors.xml as well though or change what color it calls on in that edit to another in colors.xml
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] GrainOsand:
Thanks nitsuj17! That just bought you a credit in the OP of my theme thread:) LOL!
[HTC EVO 3D] svetius:
For the EVO 3D!
[G Tablet General] Rumbleweed:
I know that some members of the Viewsonic Dev team check in here on a regular basis. I would like to solicit your assistance in securing the needed files for the serious Devs on this site to port Honeycomb and future OS to the Gtablet. It is obvious from the recent Woot day that Viewsonic is benefiting from the hard work of a few Devs on this site. Some members even spent the day answering questions on Woot to promote the device. You have already invested in this product and with a little support for the Dev team on XDA you can reap additional rewards for that investment.
[G Tablet General] muqali:
Certainly sounds good to me.
[G Tablet General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Couple of thoughts:

OfficialViewsonic has requested info for developing a dev site. It is likely they will make drivers/patches other things available and in a central location.

Not sure they even have/can get the source. They are not part of the OHA. Also, they are just reselling/rebranding this tablet. I don't think they are actually that involved in the software side of the development. Matala tablet. Tap-n-Tap software.

If they could/did get the source, I doubt they could give access to non-employee's. Since google isn't releasing the source directly, my guess is that any access to it, is guarded by NDA's etc.
[G Tablet General] Mantara:
They may not be invested in the way of making the parts but they are invested where it counts. Money and reputation. One of the deciding factors for me was viewsonics involvement, I know they re-brand but they stick by their products. I trust their brand and they know that their name has kept them in business. That said, I know that they want this product to succeed and will go out of their way make sure it does.

I don't think they will "gives us ours honeycreams" any time soon (or ever, as mentioned they are not a part of the OHA ) but open communication with devs about next step tnt updates is a start. I trust they are doing everything they can while securing their company's interests.

[7 Mozart General] meegulthwarp:
I second the above, try a hard reset first and if that is no good you can try flashing a newer ROM and if all else fails then you should look into returning it.

Currently updating my kies ... really hoping to see a gingerbread update available after the update . .. so fingers crossed :) 51457kb kies update size (ver 2.0.0.11032_12 )
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BottleB:
Keep us updated!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cldwar:
bummer ... ... ..

No firmware update available .. ... come on samsung, even the kies is updated now :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
You wont get an update before 2.3 is released that version of Kies is not new .

[Galaxy S I9000 General] gazza1988:
hi iam having trouble updating kies. i get most of the way through then it decides to say my internet is down? i know it isnt because i was on msn messenger and i wasnt logged out.

anybody else having this issue?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] windraker:
4th thead about this in the last 2 days :(

Sent from my GT-I9000M
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sgsI9003:
You are not alone I have been facing the same problem with updating kies.

Mine reports the update, downloads it 100% but download bar still reportsas 40% & then says internet connection lost want to retry?

I say yes! does the same looping over & over again. I have downloaded over 3-4 gb in name of kies update but it has never updated.

The most messed up program I have ever used is Kies, seems some dumb guys are developing this who do not even understand how computer works.

The solution would be not to update instead download the new version> uninstall the old version & install the newer version.

The screenshot shows it already has downloaded twice the amount of data what the update size is.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lvvine:
Even i faced the same problem, Down the kies from support page and update it. Its the best method
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sgsI9003:
I am in India & Indian samsung site still has old version on their site, can you post the link to the latest version.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lvvine:
Samsung India Page is very worst, Very late update.

Here is the link: Right Click and Save Target As

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Leshy1991:
Hey even I am from India is there a update for 2.3 with or without kies
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sgsI9003:
lvvine

This seems to be a higher version than what kies is officially reporting as update v2.0.0.11032_12

The link you provided is downloading Kies_2.0.0.11033_25

Is it ok to install with I9003, hope nothing goes wrong further as i am already fed up with this stupid software.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sgsI9003:
Uninstalled the older version & reinstalled the new version all seems to be working till now, its reporting me a new Firmware update & I will try updating it too but I hope it doesn't loop again & again as it was doing last time.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tehpriest:
_12 is actually newer than _25. _25-January build. _12=February build.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sgsI9003:
Though I don't understand the logic of numbering If its so where can I download the latest v2.0.0.11032_12 build?

I wish samsung thinks about giving some steam lined info on these updates.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lvvine:
Again its updated to newer version, No problem go ahead and install the version. I myself using with i9000 & my younger brother 9003 works perfect.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] webwude:
Here i get 32_12 as new version - update date from today (2011-03-28).

I was having the same problem with kies saying it had lost connection so i turned off my kaspersky internet security and then install the kies update
[Vibrant General] romitkin:
I have installed a nightly update for Cyanogen 7 and since then the phone is stuck on the Cyanogen logo.

I can get into recovery but since I don't have any firmware files on my SD I can't reinstall the ROM. I just need a way to put the files on my internal SD.

I have tries ADB which didn't detect my phone. I have installed the driver (The phone is found as the Nexus S for some reason) .

I also couldn't get into download mode although I don't have the hardware lock as I can get into recovery.

What can I do in this situation? I am already thinking of opening the phone, swapping out the internal SD and transferring the files through the computer. I would like to know if there's any other way.

Thank you!
[Vibrant General] explodingboy70:
Plug phone into computer and boot in recovery. If still not recognized by adb go to advanced and select reboot recovery. This should get you adb. ADB push "namehere".zip sdcard.

If still having problems Odin back to stock and start over. To get to download mode make sure phone is off, battery pull if necessary. Plug USB to phone press volume up and down and hold and plug USB into computer.
[Vibrant General] romitkin:
Awesome! Thanks to you I have managed to get into download mode now.

All the guides that I found says I should use the power button. You said only up and down while connecting. That worked.

I am very grateful.
[Android Software Development] nurps:
Dumb questions?
[Android Software Development] nurps:
Dont care what it takes as long as its possible.

Is it seriously asking everytime?

Only gmail? I would like to check severy pop3 accounts.

Didnt know there is a taskswitcher included, alawys thought id had to go the long way via homescreen.

I will check phonalyzer out thanks.

Will also check out mybackup, even though apps come from the market and a re probably newer version than in the backup, saving settings would seem more logical.

SetCPU, thanks again.

Because there are some excel and word files i often use and of course in want them fast. So shortcuts on Homescreen or where the other applications are. Speaking of that list. Is there some way to organzize it? Change the order, put some in subfolder? The way they are now it sucks.

For the birthdays i need to remember some birthdays of people that dont have phone, mail or anything. So creating a contact would be pointless. But i want to see their birthday everyyear with the info how old they get.

Will look at Adobe Photoshop Express.

Because online navigation sucks if i am out of my country and have to really pay for datatranfers.

It just doenst show me what i want to see.

As far as i understand google voice command (even if it would understand anything else than english allready) decodes the spoken commands online. So when i tell it to open my excel file i would first have to wait till my phone connects to the internet. Is there any voice command software that works on the device and not in the cloud. Like voice command for windows mobile did?
[Android Software Development] 0space_monkey0:
i recommend the app Trapster.
[Android Software Development] ill_dawg:
I switched from WM to android not that long ago, so I kanda know where you're coming from. You do have to unmount your storage from your phone every time you want to transfer things, I usually just send things over the air and avoid plugging in. WM loved to be attached to your computer, but android would rather be connected to the internet. I think if you're running sense you can transfer stuff with HTCsync without unmounting every time, not 100% though as I flashed sense onto my N1 a couple times but never downloaded HTCsync.

I think you'll want a rom with sense on it. Sense has the 'sync all' button that you can put on your home screen to sync all of your accounts on demand. They also have a partnership with TomTom for offline navigation. There's also a nice calendar widget, and unread counts for your messages, etc. If you were using touch flo on WM, HTC have kept a lot of the nice features in sense on android.

Android isn't as friendly for key mapping as WM was. You can get onscreen toggles for most things, though. there was one rom I had on my N1 for a while, I think it was CM6, where there were toggles on the drop down menu. This made it possible to switch settings in-app, which I missed from WM. For app-switching, just long-press home to bring up your MRU list. One of the other things I miss from WM is having the battery bar that runs all the way across the top of the screen, just on the top few pixels. Only 1 rom I tried, the MIUI rom, was able to do this. It was a lot easier to mess with in WM.

Programs:

file manager - Astro

IM - IM+, nimbuzz, fring, etc. there are lots of them. im+ does skype

backup - I used SMS backup&restore for SMS, Titanium takes care of everything else.

Calendar - google calendar lets you set a repeating event for birthdays, automatically adds the holidays you tell it to.

Also, USB host is possible, but you need to use a powered USB hub to power the device you're plugging in. Doesn't seem to be another way to get power to the port. If USB host is really important, a hacked kernel and a powered port should get the job done.

I hope this helps, and don't worry. Once you've used android for a while, you'll see that it's really user-friendly. I'm sure you'll grow to love it.
[Android Software Development] rigman:
Try Jorte calendar if your don't like the Goggle one.

If you get a phone that's rootable, try Root Explorer for file explorer.
